Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated :)|||Neither your office depot or the HP site tells you what size PSU your computer has. If you open the case and take a look at the PSU we could give a better answer.

As far as the " BEST card that fits into my system's motherboard", that would be the ATI 5890. But you may not have enough PSU to run it.|||ATI 4550 or 9400 GT will run on the stock 300 watt power supply.



ASUS EAH4550/DI/512MD3 Radeon HD 4550

this model has a fan

With a better ATX power supply you can run a better card.



GIGABYTE GV-R467ZL-1GI Radeon HD 4670

requires 400 watt power supply

a good video card :P|||You can use any PCIe video card. But you may need to upgrade your power supply. You'll need a minimum of 400-450watts to power pretty much any decent video card. Also, make sure the power supply has at least 1 6-pin PCIe connector. This is required to be plugged into the back of the video card, without it the card won't power up. I believe the HP Pavilion p6210f has a 300 watt power supply.



Power supplies are cheap, you can get a good 500 watt (although over 500 watts would be recommend, but not necessary) for under $60.



However, be aware that some video cards are large and my not fit in your computer case.



Since the minimum is a 6600GT, go with a GeForce 9 series card (or ATI equivalent) at the very least.

Something like an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT (or GTX) or an ATI Radeon HD 4830 (or 4850).

I mean, you can go lower than that, but you can run pretty much any game with either of those cards.

If you can afford it, go even higher than those cards, because you'll be ensuring that you can power some games released over the next 2 years or so.



Just make sure it'll fit (physically) in your computer case. So don't go for any OC (overclocked) edition cards.





By the way... I have that monitor, it's awesome hahaha.
